REENFORCED PLASTIC CONTAINER.

VApplication filed March 8, 19272. Serial No. 541,943. v

To all fw/wmc't mag/concemr Y Be it known that LlllAURron BERNSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of vSan Francisco, State of California, having invented a new and useful Reenforced Plastic Container, of which thefollowing isa specification, in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled and use the same.

This invention relates to a reenforced papier mch article and an object of the invention is not only tok reinforce such articles in the ordinary Way to stiften them but also to reinforce them in such a manner as to increase their wearing qualities.

t will be understood by those slcillediin the art that while it is common to reinforce plastic articles to strengthenV them, that many articles subject to wear deteriorate very rapidly after the surface is broken and forcing is provided which is sufficiently close to the surface to prevent the article fromV wearing away while at the same time it greatly stiifens the article and gives itY greater strength.

Gther objects ofthe invention will appear as the description proceeds.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the i same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware r that there maybe modifications thereof.

Fig. l is a perspective view of a tray madeof a plastic paper material showingrr the reinforcing in dotted lines.

i F ig, 2 is a sectional view of a portion of the tray shown in Figure l, and Y f Fig. B is a sectional view of the bottom of the tray shown in Figure lon a larger scale.

The numeral l indicates the plastic yinaterial of the tray, which material is molded Vinto the desired shape to cover the reinforcin the art to construct Y The plastic material is molded overthe ing. The reinforcing consistsin pairs of wires Zand 3. These pairs of wires extend transversely and longitudinally kof the tray and are twisted together'gas indicated at 4iand 5 to produceelongated loops. At the ends ofthe tray, the tray may be supplied with twisted wirehandles as shown at 6 and 7, said handles being an extension of the interior reinforcing of the tray.

reinforcing and the molds press the ma- While tray has been referred to as the Y construction to kwhich the reinforcingls ap`- plied; it will' be clear that this reinforcing may be used in conjunction with any kind of a plastic material box. bucket or container. l y

What I claim is as follows, but various modifications may be made in the construction shown Yin the drawings and above particularly described forni, within the purviewof my'invention: ,y e f Anarticle of the class described comprising` a reinforcing consisting of wires twisted together to form elongated loops, and a plastic material forming the article sur-` rounding the reinforcing, the reinforcing- 1 being arranged to liek with the loops substantially parallel to the plane of the inner vand outer surfaces of the article and closely adjacent the surfaces thereofwhereby upon any` `wear of the articlethe loops of reinf forcingwill prevent undue wear.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto setk my hand this Mannion BERNSTEIN.
